#2 is part of business etiquette 101.
Smart businessmen don't post tons of threads on forums asking basic questions all the time, so I guess there's that.

I agree in principle about your #2, but for every 100 people who say "I'll remember that when I'm bigger than you", that happens one time. For anyone who's been around a long time, they're probably willing to take that risk - because they've heard it a thousand times and it's only become true a few of those times, if that.

There's a link seller on here who tried to sell me links at $1500 / yr / site on his whole network of sites. 5k / day for the network - was something like $6k for the whole deal. I simply told him "this is way too much for what you've got - no thanks". He told me sites will be huge one day and I clearly know nothing about SEO because buying link for "potential" is common, yet... I was intending to buy those links to a site of mine that gets 500k SE per day.

And that isn't the first time I've seen / heard that. There's a few other link sellers on here with 10 year old sites still saying the same shit, yet their sites are still tiny. These are the same people expecting programs to bend to their will. ;)
